[/quote]Since your car has a new engine, you're probably going to have to wait a while for the after market companies to develop and release exhausts for it. Here's the B&B site:

I am thinking about purchasing an exhaust for my 545 - Any advise would be helpful.
I'm looking primarily for a throatier sound, lighter weight.
I'm a bit skeptical on all horsepower claims, I don't think that it will make a noticible difference, just want to enjoy the volume.
I see that many of you havve the B&B, but there seems to be a few choices out there.? I even spoke to dinan in mountainview and they said that there will be a muffler system coming out at the end of the month.
Any thoughts?? I will have the M sport package installed on Monday!!!
